The other extensions of procedures are: Launch area prep: Any dried grass, thatch, leaves, or other fuel should be raked well away from the launch zone; the result- ing refuse needs to be moved well upwind and/or disposed of. I once saw a dry grass pile ignite more than twenty feet from an A-impulse contest flight. If you have water to spare, you may want to spray down the area under the launchers at intervals. Also, inspect the ground near the launchers as the day goes on. Foot traffic will probably degrade the ground cover there. Launchers: Try to get them elevated off ground level and insulated from burn- able items (with welding blankets, tarps, wet ground cloths, or pavers). Blast deflec- tors should be angled or designed to throw exhaust products back up so they can cool in mid-air, rather than being channeled down toward the ground.

bit higher up the rail. A very good idea is the addi- tion of an upward-directing lip at the deflector’s edg- es, either by bending the deflector or adding some nonflammable material like plaster of Paris or tile grout to form a ramp structure. Large clay flowerpot saucers are relatively cheap and work well, though they’re a bit fragile (the edge lip is built right in the design). In any case, modelers should carefully cen- ter the motors above the deflector, which should be realistically sized for the model at hand. Suggested fire response supplies While some of this should be standard equip- ment for every launch, prevailing conditions may warrant extra safety measures. You should always bring some combination of the following. Fire flap- pers or shovels. Sand buckets to bury small prob- lems close-in. Metal (not plastic) bow rakes to re- move that dry plant material. And a place to put it! And always have some form of extinguisher backed up with a large surplus of water.

Except for the S8E-P, each duration event consists of three rounds, each with a maximum time (max) that can be recorded for the round. The sum of the three flights is added up to determine the winner. The major difference between the Can- Am Cup flights and the flyoffs was that, for U.S. Team Selection, contestants could use a third model in the duration events if their first two were lost. The reason behind this is that, at a World Championships, the U.S. provides a recovery team and fliers do not worry about recovery. The change made for some interesting challenges

The weekend before NARAM a com- petitive flyoff was held to determine spots for the 2018 U.S. World Spacemodeling team. Sponsored by the Federation Aero- nautique Internationale (FAI), the 2018 meet will be held in late August in Poland. This year, the flyoffs were flown with a twist—the meet was flown as a full FAI Cup contest. The idea was to create a spirit of “Practice as you fly, fly as you practice.” Coming off the heels of a successful 2016 World Championships team in Ukraine, and with the 2018 meet planned for Po- land, the CanAm Cup/Flyoffs drew an all- time high number of 53 contestants. This was the largest FAI International meet held in the U.S., besides the two previous World Championships held in the U.S. (1980 and 1992).

In S1B, current World Champion Dr. Bob Kreutz took the top spot for the Seniors (347m). Dr. Bob said that the key to all of his success was “going straight up,” which is indeed true; off-axis flights kill altitude. He used both a piston and a tower on all of his flights. In second place (324m) was Trip Barber, a veteran of many S1 teams. His two-stage design was identical to the design he used in the last WSMC, with a single- piece molded fiberglass upper stage that used rear ejection. The lower stage used an 8-degree taper on the front end, with a piston launch. In third place was Emma Kristal (303m), a vet- eran of previous Junior S1 teams. Emma’s col- orful models edged out Matt Steele (293m) and her father, Steve Kristal (236m).

This was the most competitive flyoff yet. The experienced U.S. fliers just keep getting better and better. As a testament to how tough it was, no Senior qualified for more than two events. That’s the first time that has ever happened. The flat Michigan field was great for the meet, and support from the lo- cal club was fantastic. For the duration events, Saturday morning’s weather started off being quite challenging with light wind out of the northeast. Overcast skies retarded the thermal energy, but those models that did hook up ended up in or over the nastiest part of the sewage treatment plant (also known as the “Big Icky”). The afternoon improved with winds becoming easterly, keeping models out of the sewage ponds. Sunday morning was beautiful with very low winds and clear skies. S1B (B Altitude) S1 is the event designation for the FAI Altitude event. In this event, the models have to be 500mm long, have 50% of their length be 40mm in di- ameter, and upper stages can be no smaller that 18mm in diameter. To be competitive, models need to be flown with two stages, with the motors for the stages separated by 10" or more.

It is a Bob Parks designed Raven 11 that he built with three servos (rudder, elevator, flaps). Ryan made it a point to launch us early as possible in case of a misfire. He was al- ways ready to go as soon as working time started and was ready to launch unless there was some obvious bad air or something (there wasn’t). On two of his flights, he got into a bit of trouble and had to work the air low (that isn’t a great strategy). In the fourth round, he had to work air downwind a bit more than he would have liked, but did an OK job of pushing back to the landing spot. He had good landings in all five rounds. The final round was the only round he was short on the time, although everyone in the flyoffs was short on the time. Matt Berk dusted off his model from the last WSMC and won to watch.
